John 17:14–18

14 I have given them your word. The world hatedax them because they are not of the world,ay just as I am not of the world.az 15 I am not praying that you take them out of the world but that you protect them from the evil one.ba 16 They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.bb 17 Sanctifybc them by the truth;bd your word is truth. 18 As you sent me into the world,be I also have sent them into the world.
